Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 37 Guiding with Goodwill and Refining the Approach

On the morning of May 31, Shen Gongbao and others left the Kung Fu King film crew, first taking a car to Yiwu Airport, and then flying to Beijing.

Upon arriving in Yanjing, the group went directly to the Huaguo Hotel for makeup, styling, and rehearsals.

In her previous life, Li Bingbing's contract renewal ceremony was held at the Huaguo Hotel.

With the establishment of Snow Leopard Studio, the signing of celebrities such as Liu Yifei and Shen Gongbao has increased, and Jackie Chan's investment and partnership have also been involved, making Huayi Brothers pay even more attention to it.

Not only was the venue decorated very luxuriously, but the costumes and styling were also done by a top-notch team. Many celebrities from Huayi Brothers Entertainment will be there to show their support, making it a truly grand and prestigious event.

After arriving at the hotel, everyone was busy preparing, but Liu Yifei didn't care about her appearance at all.

She looked around, occasionally venturing outside, clearly scouting the area.

But no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find an opportunity.

The Huaguo Hotel is a five-star hotel that has hosted many banquets for foreign guests. Its service procedures are very rigorous, making it extremely difficult for Liu Yifei to drug her.

Moreover, she discovered a fatal problem—if the drugging was successful here, and something went wrong, Huayi would definitely hold the hotel responsible, which would implicate the hotel staff.

With these things in mind, Liu Yifei would never make a move here.

"Ugh, causing trouble is so difficult! Maybe I should just give up and accept my fate by singing nursery rhymes!"

Only after experiencing it firsthand did Liu Yifei realize that stirring up trouble wasn't so simple, and she couldn't help but admire Shen Gongbao even more.

She realized she had been making assumptions and began to consider giving up on causing trouble.

That evening, as everyone was preparing to leave, Shen Gongbao suddenly came over and said, "Are you hungry? If you are, there are bayberries over there. They were personally purchased by Boss Wang, who said they were air-shipped from Fujian. They are both sour and sweet, and they are especially delicious."

Don't you like the sweet and sour flavor of AD calcium milk? This bayberry drink should suit your taste.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei was about to retort, saying that she was grown up and no longer drank AD calcium milk, when Shen Gongbao continued, "However, you can't eat too many. First, eating too many bayberries can easily cause diarrhea, and second, you need to save some to entertain guests before tomorrow's press conference."

Generally speaking, celebrities don't eat a proper meal before attending important events.

After all, eating too much can make you sleepy and affect your performance, so most people just eat some low-calorie fruits and snacks to fill their stomachs.

It's currently the season for bayberries, and Huayi specially purchased a batch of premium fruit from Fujian for gift-giving during the Dragon Boat Festival, and some were also served to guests.

Actually, I bought a lot of bayberries and mushrooms, and I could eat as many as I wanted, but Shen Gongbao said it that way on purpose to give Liu Yifei some ideas.

To stir up trouble, one must learn to gather information, adapt to local conditions, and be flexible in response to changing circumstances. Liu Yifei is not yet capable of this.

Shen Gongbao must guide the public with goodwill.

Moreover, Liu Yifei is too reckless and naive. Once the matter of drugging someone is brought up, it will be difficult to handle.

Therefore, Shen Gongbao had to help her refine her tactics and also handle the aftermath for her.

At the same time, Liu Yifei should be taught a profound lesson—it's okay to cause trouble, but you should pay attention to the limits and boundaries.

There was no other way; after all, Shen Gongbao was now the strict father of Tianxian, and he had to protect his child.

The most important thing is that Shen Gongbao still needs to participate in causing trouble, so that he can get the reward of the Taoist book.

Upon hearing Shen Gongbao's words, Liu Yifei's beautiful almond-shaped eyes lit up!

She exclaimed excitedly, "Where are the bayberries? I want to eat them!"

Upon seeing the bayberry, Liu Yifei was inspired and immediately finalized a plan to cause trouble.

The next day at noon, Shen Gongbao arrived at the hotel banquet hall and saw that the venue had been set up, with even the red carpet laid out.

In the lounge next to the banquet hall, many celebrities had already arrived to show their support, including Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, and Zhou Xun.

Shen Gongbao stepped forward to greet her, exchanged pleasantries, and then saw Hu Jun, Tong Dawei, Huang Xiaoming, Ren Quan, and others surrounding Wang Zhonglei.

Seeing these people together, Shen Gongbao felt as if they were immortals lined up like hemp.

The last time I saw so many 1s and 0s was when I was looking at binary code.

Moreover, the code is prone to getting messy, and 1s and 0s can sometimes be swapped or interchanged.

Just as I was reflecting on these things, I saw Liu Yifei walk in carrying a plate and warmly greet everyone.

"These bayberries are delicious. I finished the ones I had, and then I washed another plateful. Please try some!"

"Is it delicious? Take another one to tide you over!"

……

The bayberries were in season at this time, and Huayi bought the best quality ones. Each one was red with a hint of purple, plump and juicy, and looked very tempting.

Since no one had eaten lunch, they picked up bayberries and chatted while eating them.

While Liu Yifei was washing the bayberries, she used the excuse of soaking them in salt water to soak them in polyethylene glycol 4000 powder.

When Shen Gongbao saw Wang Zhonglei, Huang Xiaoming, and others eating bayberries, he immediately felt that a big show was about to begin.

Other people might experience a stomachache or need to use the restroom more often after eating bayberries soaked in medicinal herbs, but what if these people can't hold their poop after eating them?

As Shen Gongbao was thinking about the upcoming drama, he saw Liu Yifei wash another plate of bayberries and bring it to him.

"Teacher Shen, have some bayberries to tide you over, they're delicious!"

At this moment, Liu Yifei looked as if she had grown two devil horns on her head, and with her smug smile, she looked a bit wicked.

For the first time, Shen Gongbao saw such vibrant life in her.

Perhaps the celestial being's rebellious phase has finally arrived.

It is said that the later a person's rebellious phase begins, the more extreme their rebellion will be.

It seems that's indeed the case; they've gone all out on their first attempt at something this big.

Shen Gongbao shook his head and deliberately said, "I've already eaten lunch, and I ate bayberries last night, so I don't want to eat any now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei became anxious. She wanted to get back at Shen Gongbao the most and vent her anger at being bullied on set these past few days!

"Oh, these are bayberries I washed myself, why don't you try some?"

Liu Yifei started to act coquettishly, but Shen Gongbao remained unmoved.

She gritted her teeth and increased her pleading: "Daddy~ these are bayberries that Sisi washed for you, have one~"

In order to trick Shen Gongbao, Liu Yifei went all out and whispered "Daddy" in Shen Gongbao's ear.

Shen Gongbao felt relieved after hearing this. He took the bayberries and said with a smile, "I can eat them, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Later at the press conference, you'll be drinking AD calcium milk on the exhibition stage."

Liu Yifei: "..."

Drinking AD calcium milk and singing nursery rhymes for three-year-olds, Liu Yifei is truly trying to "rejuvenate".

"Alright, I promise! But you have to eat a few more; you can't let my good intentions go to waste!"

At this point, the die was cast and Liu Yifei, wanting to see Shen Gongbao make a fool of himself with diarrhea, agreed to all his demands.

Shen Gongbao nodded, took the bayberries, and walked out of the lounge.

Then, to Liu Yifei's astonishment, he soaked the food in a bowl of salt water before eating it.

This soaking removes about 80-90% of the medicine; the remaining amount is not a problem.

Liu Yifei stared wide-eyed, her face full of questions.

Is it still possible to do it this way?

But then Shen Gongbao said, "Waxberries are full of worms, so soaking them in salt water before eating will make them more hygienic."

"But I washed it very clean and soaked it in salt water!"

"It's okay, soaking it again will make it even healthier."

After saying this, Shen Gongbao even winked at Liu Yifei, his words dripping with provocation.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei realized that she was too naive, and that Shen Gongbao had completely seen through her scheme.

Remembering what Shen Gongbao mentioned about bayberries yesterday afternoon, she asked in a low voice, "Are you deliberately making me use bayberries...?"

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything."

Shen Gongbao would never admit to any of this. He interrupted Liu Yifei and went backstage to prepare for the performance.
